    摘要: Security and privacy mechanisms are provided to protect the L2 identifiers used in groupcast communications over the sidelink (e.g., PC5 interface) without requiring a UE to periodically refresh the L2 identifiers, which may cause extra signaling overhead, increased latency and greater risk of synchronization issues. To prevent tracking of a UE, a group identifier (ID) is used as a source layer 2 (L2) ID in groupcast messages. Additionally, a message authentication code (MAC) is introduced into the group discovery procedure to authenticate the UE sending a group discovery request.

    摘要: A method performed by an agent for handling an event of a network service deployed in a cloud environment is provided. The agent is capable to access to a server in the cloud environment. The agent obtains information from the server. The information is about an event of the network service. When the network service relates to a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network, the agent decides whether to register network service with or without an associated address of a load balancer of the network service. The agent then registers in a core network node operating in the 3GPP network, the network service with or without an associated address of a load balancer of the network service according to the event and according to the outcome of the deciding.

    摘要: Embodiments of a method in a core network, corresponding embodiments of methods in a service consumer and service producer, and corresponding embodiments of a service consumer and service producer are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method in a core network comprises, at a service consumer, generating security information for a subscription to an event and sending a subscribe message comprising the security information to a service producer of the event. The method further comprises, at the service producer, receiving the subscribe message and sending a notification message to the service consumer, where the notification message comprises the event and either: the security information or information derived from the security information. The method further comprises, at the service consumer, receiving the notification message and verifying the notification message based on the security information or the information derived from the security information, comprised in the notification message.

    摘要: Methods and systems for optimizing Network Function (NF) service authorization are presented. According to one aspect, a method implemented in an NF consumer comprises: sending, to an authorization server, an authorization request for a procedure that involves a plurality of NF services; and receiving, from the authorization server, an authorization response for the procedure, the authorization response including information authorizing access to the plurality of NF services. In some embodiments, the NF consumer may comprise an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF). In some embodiments, the authorization server may comprise a Network Repository Function (NRF). In some embodiments, the authorization response may include one or more access tokens.

    摘要: There is provided a method at a second user equipment (UE2) comprising receiving, from a first UE (UE1), a relay request message indicating a relay request of UE1. The relay request is for a relay service requested by UE1. The relay request message comprises an indication of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) to which UE1 is subscribed. The method comprises determining that the relay request can be accepted by UE2 in at least one case where: the UE2 is authorized to support the relay service; the relay service is allowed by a current cell of UE2 served by a network node; UE2 is currently in a Radio Resource Control connected state; UE1 subscribes to a same PLMN as UE2; or the network node has provided relevant Access Stratum configurations to UE2. The method comprises transmitting a relay response message to UE1 based on a result of the determination.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for controlling migration of a Quick User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Internet Connections (QUIC) connection between a server and a neighboring server of a content delivery network (CDN). The server and the neighboring server comprise respective cache memories, are comprised in the CDN and have a same server IP-address. The QUIC connection is identifiable by a connection identifier (CID) and is established to a migrating wireless device having a client IP-address. The method for controlling migration of the QUIC connection comprises receiving static key information representative of the QUIC connection; determining context transfer state information for the QUIC connection; and controlling transmission of a stateless reset token for the QUIC connection based on the determined context transfer state.
